No I can't get your power back.. but

Before I go any further, please do not run your generator in the garage, even with the door open. Get it 20 feet away from the house. As I understand it, by the time you feel the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning, unless some happens to be there to help you, it is too late.
The Green Party cannot get your power back, only the hardworking guys with bucket trucks can do that. What the Green Party can do is ensure that you never lose it in the first place. Evidence suggests that storms like Sandy become more intense as they move over water that is warmer than it was a few decades ago and even if we stopped using all oil, coal and natural gas tomorrow, the sea would continue to warm for another 30 - 40 years. This is serious stuff. The Green Party does not deal in platitudes, it deals in serious solutions to make America and the world a place fit for our children to live in.

Whose Hole is it?

Connecticut has an unfunded pension hole in the region of $40,000,000,000 to $50,000,000,000. This means that pensions have been promised which will have to be paid or the promises broken, yet there is no money in the kitty to pay. Both my competitors say they will fix it, but while they were not there to make the mess, the parties that they represent were, so why do you think the Democrats and Republicans can fix it when it was Democratic legislatures and Republican Governors who made the mess? The Green Party is the prudent party in that we want to look after the Earth since it is the only one we have got (no there isn't another one tucked away in another dimension) and prudence would extend to matters fiscal, so the Green Party would no more make a mess of the state's finances than it would make a mess of the planet. So vote for me on Tuesday and lets start cleaning up the mess and take some new ideas to Hartford
